RE: [council] Final version of RAA amendment/motion


The latest version of the language is preferred by the BC, as the first
version could be read as limiting wrt topics of next discussion.  I believe
our collective intent was to open discussion on any topic within the RAA,
not just topics that are subject of current proposed amendments, right?

        Hi Tim,
        
        This is news to us.  NCUC much prefers the language we agreed on
Sunday.

                Thought I should point out that the only change from the
version that
                
                was circulated Sunday afternoon is in the last paragraph of
the resolve.
                
                
                The Sunday afternoon version read:
                
                
                Within 30 days of Board approval of the set of amendments,
the GNSO
                
                Council will form a Drafting Team to discuss the amendments
further and
                
                identify those that the community believes could be further
revised
                
                through PDP processes or through additional changes to the
RAA that may
                
                not fall within scope of a formal PDP process. The Drafting
Team should
                
                endeavor to provide its advice to the Council and ICANN
staff no later
                
                then July 31, 2009.
                
                
                It has been changed to:
                
                
                Within 30 days of Board approval of the set of amendments,
the GNSO
                
                Council will form a Drafting Team to discuss further
amendments to the
                
                RAA.
                
                The Drafting Team should endeavor to provide its advice to
the Council
                
                and
                
                ICANN staff no later then July 31, 2009.

                The attached, also copied below, is the final version of the
motion many
                
                of us have worked on. It reflects all the changes that we've
discussed.
                
                Not completely sure of the best way to frame it for voting,
but would
                
                like to suggest that we consider it the only motion on this
subject that
                
                we vote on tomorrow.

                ----------------
                
                Whereas, the Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA) has not
been
                
                amended since May 2001, and ICANN has undertaken a lengthy
consultative
                
                process related to amending the RAA, including several
public comment
                
                periods and consultations;
                
                
                Whereas, the proposed changes to the RAA include important
compliance
                
                and enforcement tools for ICANN; The Council wishes to
approve the set
                
                of proposed amendments as quickly as possible so that the
ICANN Board
                
                may review them, and if approved then implement them as
quickly as
                
                possible; and
                
                
                Whereas,
                
                
                The Council would like to proceed on the drafting of a
charter
                
                identifying registrant rights that registrars would be
obliged to link
                
                to, as contemplated in the set of amendments;
                
                
                The Council would like a specific process and timeline to
move forward
                
                with additional potential amendments to the RAA; and
                
                
                The Registrar Constituency is supportive of these efforts
and is willing
                
                to participate on a good faith basis on anticipated next
steps.
                
                
                Resolved:
                
                
                The GNSO Council supports the RAA amendments as documented

meeting of March
                
                6, 2009;
                
                
                Within 30 days of Board approval of the set of amendments,
                
                representatives from the GNSO community and the ALAC shall
be identified
                
                to participate in drafting a registrant rights charter, as
contemplated
                
                by the amendments and the current GNSO Council discussions,
with support
                
                from ICANN staff. A draft charter shall be completed no
later then July
                
                31; and
                
                
                Within 30 days of Board approval of the set of amendments,
the GNSO
                
                Council will form a Drafting Team to discuss further
amendments to the
                
                RAA.
                
                The Drafting Team should endeavor to provide its advice to
the Council
